Lian Liu opened the action with a raise to 8,000 on the button. Shelley Murphy called from the big blind to send them to a flop.
Murphy chose to lead out for 15,000 on the J♠6♥A♦ flop. Liu came along with a call.
The 6♠ turn led to another bet of 15,000 from Murphy, and Liu made the call to send them to a river.
Both players slowed down with a check on the 10♦ river.
Murphy showed A♠3♠ for a pair of aces, which was enough to beat Liu, who showed K♦J♣.

Huan Cung and Daniel Hughes got the chips in preflop with Cung at risk for his tournament life.
Huan Cung: 7♦7♣
Daniel Hughes: A♠10♠
Cung held the lead going into the runout, but the flop created some counterfeit outs as it came 9♦8♠8♥.
The plot continued to thicken when the turn came the J♣ to give Hughes additional outs with a straight.
The K♥ river, however, did not sink Cung as he earned the double up.
